Large gold mine working on a low-grade porphyry copper deposit containing a small amount of gold.
Owned by AngloGold Ashanti.
The La Colosa gold project was started in 2006.
"The gold mineralization in the deposit is attributed to porphyry intrusions into the Paleozoic schists of the Cajamarca Complex on the eastern flank of the Central Ranges of the Colombian Andes, around 8 Ma. Gold mineralization is believed to have occurred over three early phases of intrusion, which are accompanied by a series of potassic and sodic-calcic alteration events and a late phase of dacite porphyry intrusions."
